Why does my low-light footage look so AWFUL?!

Goodness, this thread sort of went on and on didnt it.

But keep going Janet, once you get the setting refined I have found you can get something useable in most situations. Low light plus HD = hmmm (looking for the same word John was I think).
 
Will do, ncje! I've already done a couple new night tests, and the footage is way better than the grabs I posted. I'll get some more up either tonight or tomorrow.
 
Fine DammitJanet. Glad to know. Here is a grab of one of the Michael's (Pappas) clips -- the best lowlighting stuff I could find from a 1/3" chip camera (XL-H1).

What kind of file type is that file for the night preset? I have a lowlight preset that I use, but I'm curious to see what others have come up with.

Can't open the .cpf file type.
 
I don't think you can open it, you just need to copy it to your SD card (into a folder called PRESET) and load the card in the camera. You can then select the preset directly from the card or copy it to the camera by overwriting one of the existing presets.
